Sprosselbrunnen bei Schönberg, Natural spring in Lauf an der Pegnitz, Germany
Water flows through multiple outlets in the Rhät-Lias sandstone rock formation, creating a continuous stream that extends 5 meters in length and 1 meter in width.
The spring developed over thousands of years as water eroded the transitional layers of Rhaetian sandstone, forming a small gorge in the geological structure.
The name Sprosselbrunnen derives from the Franconian word spratzeln, referring to the specific sound made by the water as it emerges from the rock.
Visitors can reach the spring through marked hiking trails starting from either Haimendorf or Schönberg, following the green ring trail system.
The spring discharges several liters per second through multiple tubes formed in the rock, with some higher outlets now inactive due to erosion.
